“I Broke…”: Rohit Sharma’s Honest Take On Century Against England In 2nd ODI

“I Broke…”: Rohit Sharma’s Honest Take On Century Against England In 2nd ODI

Published by Webster

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said on Sunday that he “enjoyed” scoring a hundred for the team, and attributed his century to him “breaking down” his batting approach in Cuttak on Sunday. Came into the second ODI against England with a string low-scores against his name, Rohit shushed his doubters with a masterly 90-ball 32nd ODI hundred, also containing 12 fours and seven sixes. It helped India register a nine-wicket win, and grab the three-match series 2-0. “It was good and really enjoyed being out there, scoring some runs for the team. It was an important game with the series on the line but I broke it down to pieces about how I wanted to bat,” Rohit said during the presentation ceremony. “(ODIs are) longer than T20s and shorter than Tests and I wanted to break it down. I wanted to bat as deep as possible and that was my focus.” Rohit said he wanted to place the ball precisely in the gaps as the England bowlers were aiming at his body. “Looking at …

Ton-Up Rohit Sharma Roars Back To Form Before Champions Trophy As India Crush England To Clinch Series

Under pressure with questions over form and mounting retirement speculations, skipper Rohit Sharma silenced it all with a vintage 32nd century, firing India to a dominant four-wicket series-clinching victory over England in the second ODI in Cuttack on Sunday. Opting to bat on a belter, England were bowled out for 304 in 49.5 overs with left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja (3/35) continuing his stranglehold over the visitors. The 37-year-old Indian skipper made the chase a lopsided affair, returning to his World Cup 2023 best with impeccable timing and effortless strokeplay en route to his 90-ball 119 — his century No 32 in ODIs that came just in time ahead of the Champions Trophy in less than two weeks. His 90-ball masterclass, studded with seven sixes and 12 fours, set the tone as India cruised to the target in 44.3 overs to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead going into the final ODI in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. Shubman Gill also made a fluent 60 off 52 balls (9×4, 1×6) but it felt overshadowed in comparison to …

Is Virat Kohli Fit To Play 2nd ODI Against England? India’s Batting Coach Sitanshu Kotak Breaks Silence

Is Virat Kohli Fit To Play 2nd ODI Against England? India’s Batting Coach Sitanshu Kotak Breaks Silence

Published by Webster

Star batter Virat Kohli has recovered from a sore right knee and is fit to play the second ODI against England in Cuttack on Sunday, confirmed batting coach Sitanshu Kotak. “Virat Kohli is fit to play. He has come for practice and is good to go,” Kotak told mediapersons on the eve of the second game. However he didn’t divulge who among opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and last match’s half-centurion Shreyas Iyer would be dropped from the playing eleven. “It is captain (Rohit Sharma) and coach’s (Gautam Gambhir) call. I can’t answer this,” Kotak replied. He also played down skipper Rohit Sharma’s poor form, stating that it is a mere “lean patch”. Who will Kohli replace? Shreyas Iyer, who came in for Kohli at the last minute by his own admission, made a rollicking 36-ball 59 that has made dropping him an almost unthinkable act. If the past norms are followed, then Kohli will walk in for Shreyas, but it is more likely that Yashasvi Jaiswal could be the one who will have to …

2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma’s Lean Run, Virat Kohli’s Return In Focus As India Eye Series Win vs England

Published by Webster

The barren run of skipper Rohit Sharma and the selection conundrum that Virat Kohli’s possible return poses are the towering obstacles in India’s quest for a series win against England in the second ODI in Cuttack on Sunday. India had taken a 1-0 lead after their four-wicket win at Nagpur, but Kohli getting rested owing to a “sore right knee” had raised concerns about his fitness ahead of the Champions Trophy later this month. However, vice-captain Shubman Gill had indicated that Kohli could be back for the second match, which will be played at a venue where the latter made a match-winning 85 against the West Indies in 2019. Kohli had also travelled to Cuttack along with his teammates and he looked relaxed. The Indian team will certainly welcome that sign, but it also raises a challenge in terms of selection. Who will Kohli replace? Shreyas Iyer, who came in for Kohli at the last minute by his own admission, made a rollicking 36-ball 59 that has made dropping him an almost unthinkable …
